LOL you think this is bad and StackOverflow has it hard?
I founded a number if groups on Facebook a few years ago and they're primarily a QA sort of community, like SO but purely on FB. We don't just get the "help me find the error questions" but also:
- have u got free PDF for <expensive book>
- please give me code for <trivial project> (often be explicit that its a student project)
- what programming language should I learn? (Often its java or PHP. I literally know one guy who has been trying to decide for 3 fucking years)
Sometimes I will get "I am just 2 gud at java coding" and also group/page spam.
Sometimes questions like the above, especially the free pirated PDFs! Can't believe people would be rude enough to try and throw all my hard work over the years down the pan because they don't want to pay for education.
I don't make money from this. Nor has it improved my career prospects. How dies StackOverflow sound now?
